I used to only wear black shoes, and other fun facts
Do you prefer running solo or with others? - Solo but love the occasional long run with a new friend
What do you listen to while running? If it’s music, what are your favorite songs/genres? - Podcasts: Ali on the Run, The Drop. Music: anything EDM usually fall back on Daft Punk Alive 2007 and Justice Access All Arenas when I need that boost
Would you rather run in dripping hot weather, or the bitter freezing cold? - Cold but also snowing so I feel a little crazy for doing it. Good crazy
Morning or evening runner? - Morning
What’s your dream run location? - Would love to do trail runs in the Rockies or PNW
What’s your current running goal? - Sub 4 hour marathon this fall (eek!)
What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen out on a run? - Another running wearing a plain white cotton tee shirt and no shoes, in a double digit miles race in a city
Why do you run? - I like the way it makes me feel, mentally and physically. Simple as that

What sports and exercise do you enjoy besides running? - Yard work is my crossfit
What’s your favorite thing to treat yourself to after a long run? - Root beer float and a hot dog with a bunch of fun toppings
What’s one item that you just can’t run without? - Hate to say it but my watch. I try not to stress the numbers. But if you don't run an integer amount of miles I think you're a psycho
Tell us a funny running story. - Have had a squirrel jump on my shoe mid stride, and was once chased by a turkey
